Chapter 764: At the cost of surrender

Jiang Shan waved his hand and smiled: "Today is a good day, I am very happy."

To express one's emotions and say that one is very happy does not mean that one will not get angry or upset easily.

Then he said, "I heard that Krypton has been destroyed for many years. You are probably the only survivors. Coincidentally, there is also a Kryptonian on Earth."

After hearing this, General Zod's expression changed, and he asked cautiously, "Are there Kryptonians on Earth too?"

Jiang Shan smiled and said, "Yes. A very nice young man."

General Zod felt bitter when he heard this.

When General Zod heard that there was a Kryptonian on Earth, and a young man at that, he knew exactly what was going on - it must be Jor-El's son, Kal-El!

After the destruction of Krypton, he and his followers left the Phantom Land and have been searching for Jor-El's son in the starry sky.

Because Krypton's greatest treasure, the Code of Life, is in his possession! General Zod's ideal of restoring Krypton must be based on the Code of Life - without the Code of Life, restoring Krypton is just wishful thinking!

The Codex of Life stores the racial genes of the Kryptonians!

At another time, or with another person, General Zod would have been ecstatic upon hearing the news about Kal-El, and would have immediately sent troops to Earth.

But now, he felt only bitterness.

There was no other reason. The person in front of him was so powerful that he could not be shaken. Even Krypton's ultimate weapon, the Ancient Doomsday, could not survive a single round in his hands. And he was the guardian of the earth! And judging from his tone, he seemed to admire Kal-El very much.

What should I do? !

You can't run to Earth and run wild, that's courting death! Jiang Shan looked at General Zod and the other ten Krypton survivors with bitter faces and laughed: "Is your ideal to restore Krypton?"

General Zod raised his head sharply: "Did you know?!"

Jiang Shan smiled and said, "I can see that."

General Zod's heart turned anxiously. He gritted his teeth and said frankly, "Yes, our thoughts cannot be hidden from your eyes."

He said: "I was once a general of Krypton. I devoted my life to saving Krypton from danger, but I failed. I was even treated as a criminal and imprisoned in the Phantom Zone of Krypton."

"I didn't escape from the cage until Krypton was destroyed."

“This is ridiculous!”

It was funny, but he couldn't laugh at all.

He said: "Krypton has been destroyed. My compatriots and my people have all died in the catastrophe. But I refuse to admit defeat!"

"As long as I have breath left, I will restore Krypton!"

"Even if it costs everything!"

His face was as hard as steel, and he saluted Jiang Shan by beating his chest: "Since you know that Kryptonian youth and know that my ideal is to restore Krypton, you must know what I want from him. He has the only foundation for restoring Krypton, the Code of Life!"

"I dare not be presumptuous in front of you!"

He said: "I can only pray to you to let me get the Code of Life back. For this, I am willing to submit to you and serve you until the day my life ends!"

General Zod would do anything to restore Krypton.

The ten Krypton survivors behind him beat their chests and shouted, "We are willing to submit to you until the day our lives end!"

Jiang Shan looked at them and couldn't help but feel emotional.

If it were him, with the earth destroyed, his own nation and homeland destroyed, and only a few people left, would he be able to stick to his ideal of restoring his nation and civilization and give everything for it?

Jiang Shan got a positive answer - yes.

So in this respect, General Zod is a man worthy of respect.

Compared to those wimps who surrender directly in the face of difficulties and those trash who kneel down and beg for mercy in the face of life and death, General Zod is ten thousand times nobler than them.

In the original plot, although Superman and General Zod have the same blood, they are based on different standpoints; General Zod is a general of Krypton, he grew up on Krypton and fought for Krypton; but Superman grew up on Earth, his thoughts and soul belong to the Earth, and he fights for the Earth.

Neither is wrong.

General Zod is a hero from Krypton, while Superman is a hero from Earth.

——At this moment, General Zod is willing to surrender and pledge allegiance in exchange for the opportunity to take back the Code of Life. To be honest, Jiang Shan is indeed a little tempted.

Including Zod, all the eleven Kryptonians here have a strong fighting power base; as long as they run to Earth and shine in the sun, they will be eleven Supermen! In the original plot, including Zod, three or five of these eleven people have the ability to fight against Superman, or even suppress him.

Superman has been shining the sun on Earth for twenty or thirty years, while Zod and the others have just arrived and have only been shining the sun for a moment.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Of course, Superman's potential is unquestionable, but he doesn't know how to tap it. Compared with warriors like General Zod, Superman was still far behind at the time of the plot.

If Zod and his eleven companions were accepted, the two world organizations would be able to add a large number of high-end combat forces in a very short period of time.

The sixth, seventh, and eighth realms should not be a problem.

But Jiang Shan thought about it and shook his head slightly.

When General Zod saw it, he felt a chill in his heart.

But Jiang Shan said, "You are all excellent fighters. Of course, I welcome you to join the Two Worlds Organization I founded. However, as far as my own principles are concerned, words like loyalty or submission are really meaningless."

"Besides, your main goal is to revitalize Krypton. It is impossible for you to stay in my Two Worlds Organization wholeheartedly."

Hearing this, General Zod and the others were moved - this didn't seem to be a rejection, but another explanation! Then they heard Jiang Shan say: "Rebuilding your own civilization is a great and reasonable thing; I can help you rebuild Krypton, the only requirement is that the rebuilt Kryptonian civilization must be roughly consistent with me and the two world organizations in terms of attitude and behavior towards people and things."

Just like Cybertron, just like Asgard!

Hearing this, General Zod was ecstatic! Such conditions were simply too lenient and too incredible!

His heart was trembling at this moment! But before he could speak, Jiang Shan said: "I have learned about the civilization of Krypton. Your civilization has walked into a dead end, or there are other reasons that led to its final destruction."

"So the new Kryptonian civilization should take this as a warning."

"The Code of Life can be used to give the new Kryptonian civilization its first population, but after that, Kryptonians should no longer be produced through 'manufacturing', but should return to natural reproduction."

"Most importantly, you need to go to the place I designate to receive further ideological training."

He said: "If you are qualified, come to me again and I will give you a planet, help you get the Code of Life back, and help you rebuild Krypton."

"If it's impossible - if a civilization that has already reached a dead end is still in the same mess after being rebuilt, I don't think it's necessary to rebuild it!"
